Ubisoft will likely be a private company soon, and I doubt the situation will change much in the aftermath.
Yeah the difference between being public and private disappears when the “private” part just means a private equity firm.
The private equity that would control it after it goes private, in all likelihood, would be the same family who controls it today and always has controlled it. They're not interested in stripping it for parts, but they're also not interested in scaling their operations down and learning some hard lessons to make a sustainable video game company.
